New Clothes for the Homecoming
They got us all together,
I can't remember the place now,
to a depot and they fitted us all out
with civilian clothes.
They let us keep our military clothes,
our uniforms and such things like that,
but we all went in for a fitting of a suit and
shoes and socks and shirt and things,
whatever you put your back.
I remember having a picture taken with
it when I came home, I tell you,
I had a hat and this striped suit.
Gosh I'd never wear it today.
It looks so funny to me today, you know.
But that's what they gave us. Whatever,
whatever they had I suppose on hand.
They just dished it out whatever size you had.
It didn't matter whether you wore a 40 or you
wore a 50 they gave it to you.
I wasn't long discarding my uniform
when I got home.
I'll put it to you that way.
We kept our uniform and all our
military clothes on until we got back home.
